INTRODUCTION
Solar dome dryer project assigned to me , Shivanjali and Rutika .we both are working on it together as decided by Ranjeet sir and prasad sir in the presence of Abhijeet sir . we all working together in a scale down model of solar dome dryer which is less than eight times of original solar dome dryer model .
PURPOSE
- Efficient drying
- preserves Nutrition value
- Energy Efficient and cost effective
- Enhance shelf life of product .
DESCRIPTION
A solar dome dryer is a specialized solar drying system designed in a dome shaped structure to efficiently utilize solar energy for drying various agricultural products . it provides a controlled and hygienic environment for moisture removal , enhancing the quality and shelf life of dried products .
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Direct Sunlight enters through the dome , the absorber base heat up creating a warm air environment . the air circulates inside removing moisture from the drying product .

As discussed in the meeting about solar dome dryer we design the scale down model of it . we design the eight times less model of original one . all related dimensions of solar dome dryer model was provided by Abhijeet sir . we firstly find out the scaling factor of that dimension and then convert all dimension in it .
27/02/2025
That day we finding the scaledown dimension of it . the original solar dome dryer was 4m we scale down it into 45 cm . we find out the scaling factor and which is less than eight times the original dimensions . we find out all the related dimensions .
28/02/2025
After meeting with Prasad sir we dividing the solar dome dryer into three parts .the tray part was given to me . the scale down dimension of tray and tray structure are are given below ,
01/03/2025
That day after meeting with Prasad sir we work on 3D printing model . Abhijeet sir provide us to some tutorial designs on solid works based on that we learn how to design in solid works .
02/03/2025
That day we learn the 3D design on solidworks . various tutorial are learned that gives us to improve our design knowledge.
03/03/2025
That day we continue to learn our 3D design on the solidworks .
04/03/2025
That day we continue our design tutorial on solidwoks .
05/03/2025
That day we start to work on tray part on solidworks . the L angle part which is needed in that design . its thickness , its angle and dimensions are required .
06/03/2025
That day we continue to our tray design on solidworks . that day i learn how to extruded the design , how to cut the angle , etc.
07/03/2025
That day after meeting with prasad sir we meeting to Deepali mam for learn the 3D PRINTING and laser cutting .
08/03/2025
That day we again continue to our solidworks design .
12/03/2025
After discussing with prasad sir we meeting to Deepali mam to print that design .
14/03/2025
Depending on the dryer shape i design the trays . use extrude boss/base having thickness 0.3 mm .cutting the edge at angle 45 .use extrude boss /base to raise the side .
15/03/2025
That day we place the net on the tray for the drying of tomato on it .
19/03/2025
That day after discussing with prasad sir we start to create the solar dome dryer model on 3D printer . after sometime we also continue the laser cutting machine and cut the rod ,tray , tray structure , etc.
